July 12th, 2017 By Riptide

73o + 90% humidity = super suck & squishy running shoes…. YHC lost almost 10 lbs this am.

10 of the burg’s craziest came out in the swampy gloom to get stronger and hopefully more acclimated to the hot/humid conditions in prep for BRR17′.  It went the same as it has since this CSAUP (p = painful, not pointless here) started last year:

• start and the Abbington pool
• down/up French Fields
• down/up Hounslow
• down/up Grovesner
• repeato until 615

• T-claps to BBQ and evite getting a head start with the broga boys – Clueless and Sid Vicious.  Its great to see our Bull run has expanded to other days of the week, and other AOs!
• Great work by all in these conditions.  Not sure why it sucked more than last week when humidity was close to 100%, but it did.
• It wasn’t a PR day like 2 weeks ago, when we had high 50s for temperature.  Just remember how much better you ran that day, when you get discouraged by these conditions – its not you.
• Great work by Queso posting many times this past week since he joined us.
• Minnow killed it again – he exemplifies that it may not get easier but you will get stronger!
• Nice efficiency by Banjo Boy getting maximum sleep then coming in and chasing down most of the group.
• Great work by Big Bird running up and down Morrow Mtn last Saturday and coming out to Pitchfork a few days later #runner.
• Strange fact of the day – White Zombie did a remake of the Bay City Rollers 70s hit “I’m your boogieman” – heard it on my drive to work – never would’ve guessed that one!!!
• Not so strange fact – our sweaty, soaked, squishy shoes add to the misery this am.  They felt like bricks.  This is how the tri term “brick” for a bike/run workout came about – when you run after the bike your legs feel like your shoes are bricks, as opposed to running on fresh legs.
